    AnswerNo. In an array declaration, the size must
    be known at compile time. You can t specify a
    size that s known only at runtime. For example,
    if i is a variable, you can t write code like
    this:
    char array[i]; /* not valid C */
    Some languages provide this latitude. C doesn t.
    If it did, the stack would be more complicated,
    function calls would be more expensive, and
    programs would run a lot slower. If you know
    that you have an array but you won t know until
    runtime how big it will be, declare a pointer to
    it and use malloc() or calloc() to allocate the
    array from the heap.
